Hi all
Finally some clear weather arrives. heres the 2nd Menzel planetary nebula.
6x10 mins ISO800. Baader MPCC coma corrector. LPS filter. Hutech modded 350D camera. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian. Off axis hand guided as usual. Sky lightening with moonlight at the end of the imaging run. The 3rd sub in the run was not used due to a sudden deteoriation in seeing, making it noticably soft. All the others were much better. Odd the seeing got so bad for less than 10 mins before returning to the better seeing it was before.
